P-334U/P-335U User's Guide The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 33 PPTP Encapsulation LABEL DESCRIPTION ISP Parameters for Internet Access Encapsulation Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks. PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet. The ZyXEL Device supports only one PPTP server connection at any given time. To configure a PPTP client, you must configure the User Name and Password fields for a PPP connection and the PPTP parameters for a PPTP connection. User Name Type the user name given to you by your ISP. Password Type the password associated with the User Name above. Retype to Confirm Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly. Nailed-up Connection Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out. Idle Timeout This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects from the PPTP server. PPTP Configuration Get automatically from Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the ISP default selection. Use Fixed IP Address Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address. My IP Address Type the (static) IP address assigned to you by your ISP. My IP Subnet Mask Your ZyXEL Device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the ZyXEL Device. Server IP Address Type the IP address of the PPTP server. Connection ID/ Name Type your identification name for the PPTP server. WAN IP Address Assignment Get automatically from Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the ISP default selection. Use Fixed IP Address Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address. My WAN IP Address Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address. Remote IP Address Enter the remote IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field. Remote IP Subnet Enter the remote IP subnet mask in this field. Mask Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses. The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost". 102 Chapter 6 WAN
